BBQ Beef Cups Recipe Made with Refrigerated Biscuits

 BBQ Cups is a simple recipe for an an easy weeknight dinner. Start with refrigerated biscuits pressed into a muffin pan and stuffed with a meat mixture consisting of ground beef, BBQ sauce, and topped with shredded cheese. These ground beef and biscuits are incredibly easy to make and kids love them!

When I first moved down to Virginia, my roommates from Arkansas and Louisiana introduced me a variety of recipes. One ground beef recipe in particular that my roommate always prepared was biscuits filled with barbecue meat.

What can I make with ground beef and biscuits?

I made these ground beef stuffed biscuits for my children one day and they’ve been hooked ever since. Their favorite part is the biscuits, and love anytime I make recipes with biscuits. I can’t complain, they take after me with my love for refrigerated biscuits. The kids love being able to eat the BBQ cups with their hands since you can pick up them right up and bite right in. Meals made in a muffin tin are perfect for on-the go as they fit right in their hand and can be eaten like a cupcake.

This easy stuffed biscuit recipe made with hamburger, shredded cheddar cheese, and barbecue sauce is an easy weeknight family dinner. It can also be made as an appetizer for game day or party since no utensils are needed. Just grab one and bite in!
